I love white bean chicken chili. Always have and always will.

I have tried several versions of this chili and this one is my favorite for these reasons:

1. It's easy to substitute in rotisserie chicken, so lots of time is saved, and the rotisserie chicken adds so much to the flavor of this chili.
2. It's super creamy due to stirring in sour cream towards the end.
3. Stirring in freshly grated cheddar and monterey jack cheese makes this deliciously cheesy and adds to the creaminess factor as well.

Can you freeze White Beach Chicken Chili?

Yes, you sure can! Anything with this amount of liquid does a good job of staying fresh in the freezer. I find the best way to freeze soups and chilis is to scoop it into large ziploc bags, making sure you have sealed the bag so that there is no air left in the bag. When you're ready to eat it, simply open bag, and place contents in bowl for heating on stovetop or microwave. Enjoy!

All in all, this is an easy white bean chicken chili recipe to throw together for your family during the rushed midweek madness. It tastes so wholesome and soothing.

This is the best white bean chicken chili recipe, in my family's opinion. I agree.

And remember, by using the rotisserie chicken, you are saving a ton of time, which allows you to whip this together on a busy night.

Highly recommend this one.
